Da fark. This world has gone farking insane. WTF?? Since when is a cowboy or Indian outfit racist? What kid hasn't played cowboys and Indians? Its innocent. I can image how someone perceives racism there.

Especially since those costumes, and "Indian" costumes as well, are really references to old TV shows, not actual cowboys and/or indians. It's about as historically accurate a reference as dressing up as Wolverine.

Cripes! Wearing a Halloween costume is pretty much protected under the first amendment! Um...what did I just say? Sorry...there seems to be no right of free speech in the US anymore...everyone thinks everyone else is dissing them and must retaliate or something, bringing the government into it.

I kinda miss the "good ol' days," which weren't necessarily all that great, but at least one could dress up and offend people without begging a lawsuit. Commenting with costumes was always hilarious and sometimes thought-provoking.

tuna fingers:By the phrasing of the article, it seems that this isn't going to be enforced and is simply a request. The only disciplinary actions will go out to the frat that hosts the Pimp n Ho party.

Correct. Nothing is "banned". CU is asking people to have PC Halloween costumes. If you wear a white trash costume or a sombrero or both, nothing will happen. This is administrative silliness, not official censorship.

bmwericus:I dunno what's been going on in Boulder - that used to be such a cool campus, but some sort of religious or Dean Worner got ahold of the place and seems determined to stamp out anyone having a good time.

I grew up around there. Boulder always was a hippie-burg, so believe me, this sort of inane political correctness is actually par for the course there.

I live up in the hills myself on the other side of the divide, Boulder is at the same time, a really nice place and then revoltingly silly. Always enjoy visits, but have to laugh at it's green image while crawling along in serious traffic. Reminds me of Berkeley [or vice-versa if you want] but without the gazillion in the supercity surrounding it...and the bay of course.

I think of places like Boulder as the hops in beer: Not the main ingredient, but it makes the beer much more tasty and interesting.

Have lots of family living there actually. My parents went to CU [way back when, the road to denver was a toll road].

No witches, you're insulting the religion of Wicca. No movie serial killers like Jason or Michael Meyers, youre disparaging the mentally ill. No furry animals, that would be making fun of Bloody William :)
